welcome to the world of STM. Your best bet for big d/ls is to wait till 9pm to start them, so you wont be "punished" straight after. Broadband FAQ for Virgin Media users

You're downloading @ 2mbps?

. When I had my 20Mb connection I downloaded at around 2.6Mbps which is right in data byte terms. But the connection is rubbish, 20Mb should be 20Mb.
